The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About Fiber
Fiber v3 has sat in release candidate for months while v2 gets one-line patches
The feed carries two lines that barely touch. Fiber v2 receives narrow maintenance releases — a lock cleanup, an X-Real-IP backport, an HTML escaping fix, a CVE patch — most containing a single merged PR. The v3 line, last visible here at rc.3, is where the actual work is: native net/http and fasthttp handler support, Express-style request and response handlers, HostClient and LBClient in the client package.
